Cork GAA Discussion Thread

Prob will get knocked out next day out but good effort today.

Cork 1-17 Clare 0-21 45min

As a loyal supporter of the Cork hurlers for probably 35 years, it sometimes makes me sad how little support follows the football. They work just as hard, maybe harder and yet the numbers just don't go. I remember in Colin Corkerys era when maybe the following was 20% less, now it feels like 80!!

The atmosphere in Limerick last week was something to be so proud of. We are the envy of every county in Ireland.

Equally is the low following of the County's footballers something to be ashamed of? Bearing in mind Cork is the biggest county in Ireland I think the footballers would be right to question it!!

Away to Dublin next weekend for the footballers (we actually got Kerry in the draw but obviously couldn’t happen that way).

Only ever beaten Dublin twice. 89 and 2010.

Hard see it change next week

It's hard to see us beating the Dubs but we have nothing to lose, so hopefully we'll give a good account of ourselves and have a right good crack at them. Dublin aren't the force that they were either, but it would still be a shock if we actually pull a win out of the bag here.

I'd say if they half fill Croke Park they'll be lucky.

Limerick won't travel, seeing Dublin as easy pickings in the hurling.

Cork won't travel as the majority will want to go to the hurling semi final

Dublin don't really follow the hurlers and will see Cork as easy pickings

So while on paper it's attractive the reality attendance wise is half full at best imo
